Metal Barn Prices

Usually, a metal barn costs between $8,000 and $20,000 based on size and complexity. These barns are built from a wide array of components, and several factors contribute to their creation. This can make nailing down an exact price difficult, even for those with industry experience.

But with a budget in mind, you can find exactly what you’re looking for in our selection of structure types. For example, our smaller open-air 36×20 Carolina Barn will range between $8,000 and $10,000.

Factors That Influence Metal Barn Cost

As we’ve touched on earlier, many things influence a metal barn’s cost. Let’s look at some of the biggest factors:


  • Design

    The complexity of your barn’s design influences its cost. Intricate designs or unique features will increase the overall price.

  • Steel Prices

    Fluctuations in steel prices directly impact the cost of constructing a metal barn. When steel prices rise, so does the cost of building a metal barn.

  • Building Size

    The size of the barn you choose significantly affects its final cost. Larger barns require more materials and labor, leading to higher costs than smaller structures.

  • Customization Options

    Adding extras like doors, windows, insulation, or ventilation systems will increase the total cost. Customization options allow you to tailor the barn to your specific needs but can add to the overall expense.

  • Location

    Geographic location affects construction costs due to variations in labor rates, shipping expenses, and local building codes. Considerations such as accessibility and terrain can also impact pricing.

  • Foundation Prep

    The type of foundation required for the metal barn, such as a simple concrete slab or a more complex engineered foundation, will affect costs.

  • Installation Costs

    While some providers offer included installation, the labor will still be factored into the total metal barn cost.

  • Permits and Certifications

    Obtaining permits and meeting certification requirements involve additional expenses that should be factored into the total cost of the project.
